Pančevo Bridge, Railway and road bridge in Belgrade, Serbia.
The Pančevo Bridge is a light-green steel truss bridge over the Danube in Belgrade, 1,526.4 m long and 18 m wide, resting on pale grey concrete piers. The truss runs along both edges of a single-level deck that carries road traffic and railway tracks side by side. Its present form dates from a 1965 renovation by engineer Ljubomir Jevtović, who widened the piers on the downstream side to hold a second, parallel structure 7.53 m from the old one.
The original crossing was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt by Soviet engineers. Its reopening in 1946 marked an important step in the city's recovery after the war.
The bridge links the city center with industrial areas across the river and remains a daily crossing for people moving between both sides. It shapes how residents experience the geography of this part of the city.
The crossing is built for cars and trains and connects the southern part of Belgrade directly with the north. If you want to walk across it, you can do so, though it is primarily designed for motorized traffic.
For many years this was the only permanent crossing over the Danube in the city until another bridge was built elsewhere. This long period of being the sole connection makes it historically noteworthy.
